Alabama Shakes are playing their first NYC show in 8+ years at Forest Hills Stadium and all you gotta do is Hold On a little longer until fall.

Bloc Party are having a banquet to celebrate the big 20th birthday of their album Silent Alarm by performing it in full at Forest Hills Stadium with solid support from Metric (a band I would walk 804.672 kilometers to see). Missing this would be like eating glass.

Speaking of big time 20th bdays, Death Cab For Cutie is performing Plans in full at Brooklyn Paramount this summer with support from the recently reunited American Analog Set (their first NYC show in 20 years!).

Kill the headlights and put it in neutral and coast to Bowery Ballroom because Beck is doing a surprise solo acoustic show there *this Monday night.*

Patti Smith and Her Band celebrate the 50th birthday of the quintessential classic album Horses by performing it in full at Beacon Theatre this November. Buy two tickets and bring a neigh-bor.

Kim Gordon is performing at the Long Play Festival Opening Night party at Pioneer Works. Wanna go(o)?

(Sl)inky London punks Squid bring the cephalopod-core to Warsaw this spring.

BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! just announced the first two benefit shows of their upcoming summer season in Prospect Park. Absolutely no spoilers here! (Hint: Men I Trust and Dinosaur Jr/Snail Mail.)

The date has been set: Hannibal Buress is opening Isola Brooklyn in the old Knitting Factory space and will be performing at its grand opening show.

Please don't let all these other shows distract you from the fact that Calgary post punks Preoccupations are coming to Bowery Ballroom in June with Goon. What a boon!

Have you heard the good news? Chicago industrial metal legends Ministry will be witnessing in Brooklyn this spring.

(This band), anyone?

Explosively experimental Brooklyn post ___ punks YHWH Nailgun have hammered their way to a headlining show at Elsewhere in May.

Casa Gogol Records Presents: New New York at Bowery Ballroom this spring with Puzzled Panther, Grace Bergere, Mary Shelley, Pons and more excellent artists from Eugene Hutz' eclectic roster.

Bodega (acoustic) and THICK are playing a special Sound Mind benefit show next week in Brooklyn.

(Mostly) instrumental Chicago post metal heads Pelican are playing The Meadows in July. Please note: Pelican rules.

Sir Paul McCartney (i love u, paul!) is playing Bowery Ballroom (again!) tomorrow on Valentine's Day. I didn't get tickets but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
